Written by Merlin

Cajun shrimp scampi is a quick and easy meal that’s loaded with flavor! You can serve it with crusty Italian bread, pasta, or rice.

Ingredients

12 raw shrimps (as many as you’d like, I like having a lot in my pasta)

1 serving of pasta (preferably a linguine)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbs. butter

1/2 c. heavy cream

shredded parmesan cheese

1/8 tsp. basil

salt and pepper to taste

flour (to thicken)

cajun seasoning

1/4 c. parsley

White wine (not shown)

olive oil (not shown)

Preparation

Heat a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the butter, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of white wine and bring to a boil.

Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add the shrimps.

Next, season the shrimps with the Cajun seasoning., be generous (to your liking)!

Add the heavy cream, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and whisk in sprinkles of flour until sauce thickens.

Lower heat to medium-low and add shrimp again.

Toss shrimp to coat with sauce, and serve over pasta. Topping with parmesan cheese.

ENJOY!
